The story over the Fed’s independence — the belief that the U.S. central bank sets interest rates and makes monetary-policy decisions based on economic data and not Washington political pressure — might still be "in the first chapter," says @macroderek. Read the full piece below.

Powell’s legacy as Fed chair is fighting inflation and Trump. He may lose the battle against both. trib.al/4LWRH2F

I met Thierry Henry in a Tucson hotel Starbucks in 2012. He was wearing his New York Red Bulls training kit and still nobody else even looked twice at him.

Mbappé casually riding an e-scooter over the Brooklyn Bridge and not a single person with a camera in sight. always cool to see how relatively anonymous international football stars can be when in the US. [via instagram.com/p/DWj6Y6UAqYv/]

@M_C_Klein @AdamPosen At every presser since July, Powell has said services inflation was coming down (until today)
English
Don't know why he said this, services inflation is also accelerating across a broad range of categories

"...these elevated readings largely reflect inflation within goods sector, which has been boosted by the effects of tariffs." - Powell on core PCE prices

@fcastofthemonth @greg_ip @IrvingSwisher @NickTimiraos Powell said services prices were coming down at every presser since last July (until today)
English
@greg_ip @IrvingSwisher @NickTimiraos A flip from Jan presser when he said core services was continuing to disinflate and also said that all components of core services were easing.
English
. @NickTimiraos stumps Powell. Why hasn't non-housing services inflation moved down, esp without tight labor market? "Good question...frustrating ... bunch of idiosyncratic things...One of the things we should be seeing ... it's a good question ... "
English
@NickTimiraos @jasonfurman I’ve long thought we need an Economic Supreme Court that without partisanship studies key issues like how to end poverty or rescue the housing market. Fed economists are muffled and the country stumbles around in the dark. I remember the gold standard debate, the Mmt debate
English
He’s essentially suggesting the Fed self-censor its research to avoid topics the White House considers politically sensitive. Does that preserve the independence or undermine it?
True independence means conducting rigorous analysis on topics relating to prices, employment, financial stability etc., regardless of whether the findings are convenient for the sitting administration.
The White House hasn’t had a problem touting tariff research from other Fed economists when it approves of the findings.
English
Better tone but substance still bad: “The Federal Reserve itself needs to have a policy where the extreme gravitas of the Fed should be used to talk about monetary policy and not to go willy nilly into every political topic if they want to preserve their political independence.”
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
VARNEY: You said the economists behind a NY Fed study that said 86% of tariff burdens falls on American businesses and consumers should be disciplined. What's your issue? HASSETT: Yeah, you know, I probably got a little emotional when I said that and I regret if the people who wrote the study feel like I personally attacked them. That was not my intent.

If the @federalreserve QE didn’t cause house prices to rise during Covid than what did? @politico @vtg2 explores how Warsh’s vision for a smaller central balance sheet could work while the Fed refuses to answer my question in a cited paper in this story.

Shirley Povich from 1962, with the most immaculate burn ever on the Redskins vile owner George Preston Marshall, the last NFL owner to insist on an all white roster: "Jim Brown, born ineligible to play for the Redskins, integrated their end zone three times yesterday." RIP WaPo.
